ASUS Rolls Out 20X LightScribe DVD Rewriter

ASUS introduced the DRW-2014 L1T internal DVD rewriter with LightScribe direct disc labeling technology. This DVD±RW drive provides 20X DVD±R writing, 8X DVD±R (DL) and 14X DVD-RAM reading capabilities. In addition, users can expect to enjoy five times faster data transfer rates than the current DMA33 standards with the SATA interface.

This DVD±ROM drive also allows 6X DVD-Rewrite, 8X DVD+Rewrite, 16X DVD-ROM, 48X CD-Write, 32X CD-Rewrite, 14X DVD-RAM and 48X CD-ROM.

The novelty also adopts several technologies, including proprietary, such as:

  • LightScribe
  • QuieTrack - made of Airflow Field Modification (change the uneven airflow field inside the drive to a balanced pressure distribution that leads to a quiet and stable operation) and FlextraLink (prevents buffer under-runs by marking the disc where writing stopped and resuming it at the same place when information flow begins again).
  • FlextraSpeed - continuously monitors the recording media and sets the optimal writing speeds.
  • Auto Vibration Reducing System - designed to minimize the vibration caused by the spindle motor and resonance between components as well as the drive and PC cases.

Specifications:

  • 20X DVD-Write/6X DVD-RW/18X DVD+Write/8X DVD+ReWrite/8X DVD±R (DL)/16X DVD-ROM/14 X DVD-RAM/48X CD-Write/32X CD-ReWrite/48X CD-ROM
